A particularly large sum came from the Arthur Ransome Club (ARC) of Japan. The ceremony was attended by Christina Hardyment, Tamami Nakayama of ARC and Brigit Sanders (nee Altounyan), a prototype of the character Bridget Walker. Brigit Sanders subsequently became President of TARS. In 1997 the society was incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee.
